Hi, I’m curious what the licensing regarding the built in object detection models.
As far as I can tell, the built in model is using some version of YOLO, some of which require licensing for use in any real products. Is there an agreement between Ultralytics and Stereolabs such that I could use the built in model freely for a product that integrates the ZED camera technology?
If it is using another model that can be used freely please let me know. Any additional links to more information and licensing would be greatly appreciated.
The Object Detection and Skeleton Detection AI engines included in the ZED SDK are based on models developed and trained internally by the ZED SDK team. They do not rely on third-party models.
You are therefore free to use them with ZED cameras for any application, including commercial projects, just like any other ZED SDK module.
Licensing considerations only come into play if you use the Custom Object Detection module with third-party inference engines that are subject to commercial licenses.
For example, if you take an Ultralytics YOLO model, convert it to ONNX, and use it with the ZED SDK as described here, you must comply with the Ultralytics license for commercial use.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more details!
Are there plans to open source Stereolab’s custom detection model such that I could fine-tune it with additional training data? I’m assuming your in-house model can take advantage of the additional hardware the ZED stereo cameras provide that other models such as YOLO & DETR can’t.
I’m also curious if you can share the accuracy of your models against others such as YOLO & DETR when trained on the same dataset.
